New Laptops

Topics: laptop, portable, notebook

Item Size: 2.4G

They weren't quite "notebook" computers yet, but laptops were replacing "luggables" in the portable computer category during the late 1980's. This program looks at the state of the art in portables including the Atari Portfolio, the GridPad, the Poqet PC, the Dynabook 286, the NEC Color Portable, Toshiba's T3200SX, IBM's P70 386, and the new Mac Portable. Average price for one of these laptops was about $5,000. Guests include Traveling Software CEO Mark Eppley. Originally broadcast in 1989. Copyright 1989 Stewart Cheifet Productions.

A look at several different types of portables, from a very compact AA battery powered machine through to mains powered luggables. A nice episode, though the picture quality is a little wobbly at times.

What about the the acer nitro 5 notebook device? The Acer Nitro 5 15 (2020) is a budget gaming laptop available in various configurations. It feels well-built, with a design that gives easy access to the internals, allowing you to upgrade or replace some components like the memory and storage.
